Well yeah, I'm having quite a hard time to withdraw that proposal, which
is the fourth one in three years, and that had been proposed to me on
this very mailing list, and got the infamous "community buy-in" about a
year ago.
It's always a hard time when you're being told that the main constraints
you had to work with suddenly are no more, because after all this work,
we realize that imposing those constraints actually made no sense.
I understand that it can happen, it still really sucks when it does.
